uhhhh. No. Pre-eclampsia and mature age in pregnancy are both very dangerous. The risk of death to the mother and baby and the risk of a baby being born with severe defects is much higher. And women who had lots of babies in the past before medical birth control existed also had a lot more still births, higher infant…

That was such a horrific article. It really saddened me to know they people are adopting children and being so terrible abusive or outright killing them in the name of religion. I can't. Ugh

I feel like after the bout of pre-eclampsia and then the late miscarriage (wasn't the baby pretty far along? They buried it) I would have put the brakes on any more possibility of another pregnancy. It just seems so dangerous for her now. But I'm no fertility expert.

Maybe I'll get lucky like you someday! I had another friend tell me that her horrible migrains disappeared after she gave birth so perhaps getting pregnant and having a baby will solve what ails me too!

But I love starchy foods! I'm not pregnant yet so I've been just skipping the vitamins whenever I detect heartburn. I can get it from such a weird array of stuff that doesn't always bother me. I mean, I've learned to not eat half a container of salsa anymore. But a paleo diet isn't really an option for my wild and…

My k-hole is heartburn. It took me about 5 months of taking prenatal vitamins to figure out the correlation between ingesting a ton of folic ACID may cause uh...too much acid in my system. I felt like such an idiot. Although I do get heartburn without the help of prenatal vitamins enough that I should have probably…

Dumb law aside, what is stopping people from just buying toys online? It's not like amazon won't ship them to this particular town.

Uuuuugh if I'm paying almost twice as much as Iams I hope Blue Buffalo is better quality food for my dog. Am I getting hosed here, or what??

Yes! I'm glad your daughter was ok! I don't have kids but my friend who is an excellent mom is having all kinds of trouble with her 2.5 year old. They just get the itch to explore at that age, they're old enough and tall enough to unlock doors and they don't understand the danger of hiding or wandering away. I'm sure…

HEY LADIEZ! Did you hear that? We can all go home now. Men and woman are equally privileged finally (equally BUT differently privileged)! Time to put the fire out in my bra burning barrel.

I read a bunch of her books when I was in middle school in the late 90's. I would always wind up in a puddle of tears over the tragedy of young love cut short! I got sick of them and moved on pretty quickly and moved on to bigger and better novels.

yeah, I think the primaries are next week? All the ads right now are skewing VERY far to the right which I was a little surprised about. I realize I live in a red state now but the all ads are SOOO conservative. And even people running that don't seem to be total tea party far right conservatives are all claiming they…

unfortunately I don't see that happening any time soon. At least in the great state of Nebraska she is being used in commercials supporting people running for Govenor and Senate seats! I was shocked that people would want their campaigns tied to her name but they flew her out here on purpose! To give speeches! They…

Brass knuckled accessories must be a big trend this year. And I found an affordable one! On the expensive side for a mug but who can put a price on style.

My husband and I are 4 years into owning a house that needed major upgrades. So far we've done everything ourselves through a combination of dumb luck, hard work, some background knowledge and tons of googling.

I should not have watched that second half at work because I am just giggling away and trying to hide it with coughs at my desk now. Jessica Williams is so good.

I didn't even think of that! So as a test I asked my husband what he thought of Elodie. He said "what? Who? Huh?" And shook his head no. So that confirms your theory!

When I hear Elodie in my head in a French accent it sounds so sweet for a little girl! But it does not sound cute with a harsh American accent, so my sweet French baby name plans are dashed.

I would think you'd attract more bees with honey. Anecdotally, my husband and I go shopping annually during the Berkshire shareholders meeting week (I wish actually we owned stock. I WISH). And let me tell you, the reaction that the sales people give us when they see our shareholder pass and know we came to spend $$…

I mean...mental illness is clearly the likely scenario. But what if he's just super bored in prison and this is his way of feeling like he still has a tangible connection with the outside world?
